Okay, this kinda took forever to type... Whew, my hands are tired...
I did do 3 pages of chapter 16 two days ago, but I did 7 more today. ^_^;;;
So like, I know you're happy about this update, Kel, so here it is... XDDDDD
Chapter 16 - Kellen to the Rescue!As the elevator went down—which was pretty strange since it was literally going slow—with Jake and Kellen inside, the two pondered hard on a plan… something they can at least use to wing into action!
“I do hope she’s okay though.” Kellen said, breaking the awkward silence.
Jake nodded worriedly.
After ten long minutes of more awkward silence, the elevator finally reached the ground and the two hopped off, now wandering through the ominously quiet hall.
Looking around inquisitively once again, Jake and Kellen looked around for anything that seemed like that it could help them with the mystery they don’t even know about yet.
When the two reached the front service desk, they both were startled by a sudden voice… but it was somewhat sweet… and calm…
“May I help you two boys?” asked the voice of a lady.
“Um, uh… well… my friend and I have uh, been searching the hospital for a… a couple of minutes now… for… for a friend… she’s staying in this hospital. C-can you help us find what room she’s in?” the nervous Jake asked, lying.
“Of course, dear,” replied the woman quickly.
Jake paused for a second and stared at her, seemingly tense.
“Well uh, h-h-her name is Catherine… She’s in the… intensive care room?” Jake said.
“Just ask her what’s up with this hospital already!”
“Okay, fine.”
“I found the room your friend is staying. Room 7309 at the 23rd floor.”
The two already knew that, but Jake was so nervous that he was actually just wasting time.
“Oh, I’ll tell her!” pushed the completely impatient Kellen.
“Do’h! I’ll do it!” Jake said, pushing Kel out of the way and standing casually. He was tired of his friend’s impatientness.
“Well, uh, my friend and I are here to visit our… friend who stays at this hospital and when we came back, there was this um… evil doctor… and you see, he did something to our friend and we want to know if she’s going to be okay.” He said, stopping at certain points while explaining.
“Ah, I see… Well, we did have this loon doctor we had in our hospital one time. Maybe he’s the one that’s up to this?” suggested the lady.
“That’ll be enough. Thanks!” Jake said, quickly grabbing Kel to a corner.
“Well, you heard her! There’s this mad doctor that’s out to get us all! At least, that’s what I think… But my point is, we got to watch out for him!” Jake said, after they were safe on an empty hallway.
Kellen awkwardly pointed at a certain thing, his finger directed behind him.
“What?” Jake asked.
“Uh, look behind you,” pointed Kel, turning Jake around.
Jake turned behind him and saw that it was the same evil doctor, smirking a sinister smile behind Jake!
Having nothing else to seemingly do, he quickly clutched Kellen by the hand and they both ran.
“What now? This place is too public to dragon up!” Jake pointed out.
“But there’s also an empty hallway.” Kellen said, pointing at it.
Thinking quickly, they both ran in the empty, dark, dimly lit hall.
“DRAGON UP!”
“IRON UP!”
Jake and Kellen were now their alter egos, the American Dragon and IronHand, once again…
Jake flew off in front of Kel and was ready to plunge at the doctor.
What he didn’t realize was that there was a sphinx hair net in front of him…
“Thought you could defeat me so quickly?”
Having no time for turning back, Jake got caught in the net.
“JAKE!”
Helpless, Jake lied there inside the clutches of the trap he was inside in. He went back to human due to affect of the net…
“You’ll be another perfect dragon to be with the other one I have captured…” smirked the doctor, dragging Jake, who was looking back at Kellen—who was peeking his head out of the hallway.
“Man, I knew he shouldn’t have just flew right at him first.” Kel mumbled, changing back to human and walking back outside the hallway.
He continued wandering alone… looking as he went just as before…
Kellen could hear almost nothing but soft mumbling voices… which made him suspicious…
And ironically, he thought he had just seen the same shadow he saw at the 23rd floor.
Curious, he turned to the corner and caught his eye… He couldn’t believe who it was.
“Hey, mind giving a dog some privacy here?” Fu Dog said.
“Fu? What are you doing here?” Kel asked, confused.
“Well, at least you’re not the one that just flew in front of the net and paid no attention to anything straight ahead,” winked Fu.
“Lemme guess, Jake called you?” guessed Kel.
“Yup, kind of like some weird subliminal message, though… I can sense these things kid,” laughed Fu.
“Um, okay…”
“Okay, my point is, you’re the only one that can save Jake and your friend Cat.”
“I know… but… where could they be?”
“Hmm, I think I might know where…”
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Kellen and Fu were peeking around hallway where they saw the doctor again, dragging Jake, who was still inside the net, and throwing him inside a room…
“OW!” cried a voice also coming inside the room.
‘Must be Cat,’ thought Kel.
The two watched as the doctor slammed the door shut.
“C’mon, kid, go for it!” Fu said, pushing Kel to the hallway.
“HEY!”
Kel took a chance and checked both ways around the hallway, finding the coast was clear…
He then quickly opened the door to the room where Jake (and probably Cat) was.
“Whoa…”
“Kel? Is that you?”
“Yeah… what happened?”
“Well, apparently, that stupid doctor tossed Jake and made him hit my head… So I’m conscious again, I guess.” Cat said, pointing to Jake, who was on top of her.
“What? That was an accident!” Jake said.
“Hey, you’re the one who decided to just go in front of the doctor and get caught in the net…” Kel said to Jake.
“Yeah, true…” said Jake.
“Point is, that doctor dude is up to capture dragons… And somehow, I saw one of the other ones carrying a staff… just like the Huntsclan’s…” Cat said.
“Yeah, I saw that too… You don’t think…?” Jake said, trailing off.
“I think so…” Kel said.
Cat nodded.
“I think they found out that I defeated the Dark Dragon and are out to get me.” She said, a little terrified.
“Hey, remember what we said, Cat…” Kel started. “We’re always behind you… Jake and I can help you…”
At this instant, Cat smiled.
“Thanks.”
“Well, first, can you get me out of here?” Jake asked.
“Yeah, Jake’s still on top of me.” Cat said, finding herself more than uncomfortable.
“Haha, no problem.” Kellen said, taking off the net that Jake and Cat were trapped in.
Cat quickly shook her head…
“Whew… now, let’s find the Huntsman.” She said.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
The three got out of the room of the hospital and looked around, checking if the coast was clear.
After a second, the three started walking around, looking for anything that seemed suspicious or had anything to deal with the Huntsclan.
As they walked, Jake thought he heard an indistinct conversation going on in the room on his right.
“Shhh, over here.” He said, pulling the two, who were now leaning on the door.
“So you have the two dragons I asked you to capture?” asked the voice of the Huntsman.
“Yes, master,” said a Huntsclan member.
“Good work.” The Huntsman said.
“Oh no, they’re going to do something with us.” Cat said.
“We got to get out of here then.” Jake said.
The Huntsman opened the door, causing Jake, Kel, and Cat to fall forward.
“So it seems like you two have escaped?” smirked the Huntsman.
“What do you want to do with us?” Cat asked.
“Easy answer, little girl… We can use both of you as the tool to make Huntsgirl here fulfill her destiny.” The Huntsman replied.
Jake secretly sneaked away as he saw Huntsgirl walk toward the threesome and next to the Huntsman.
“And plus, we heard that you, the Sonar Dragon, wiped out the Dark Dragon forever.” Huntsgirl said.
Staring from behind the door, Jake peeped from there, longingly gazing at Huntsgirl’s ocean blue eyes.
It was already after the ski trip that Jake had experience, finding out the true person behind Huntsgirl… Rose…
He didn’t have much of the mood to have Rose find out that he was a dragon… Right now seemed like a bad time for him…
“So, you’re after me because I’m a strong dragon?” Cat asked.
“Yes, and so much more.” The Huntsman said.
“The prophecy said that the Sonar Dragon is one of the most powerful dragons in the world… along with only four other ones in the world… We’re after every dominant dragon we can find… to easily wipe out the other dragons out there…” He said.
“You want me? You have to face me to do it!” Cat said, changing to a dragon.
“And me right behind her!” Kel said.
“IRON UP!”
Jake looked toward the two.
“DRAGON UP!”
The three were now the American Dragon, Sonar Dragon, and of course, IronHand.
“Grr, Huntsclan! ATTACK!” yelled the Huntsman.
A group of Huntsclan members charged at Jake and Kellen…
Cat remained in the middle.
“Huntsgirl! Take on the Sonar Dragon,” ordered the Huntsman.
“Will do, master.” Rose said, charging at Cat.
Cat grabbed her hands before she could take her down, using all her might to push her down.
“You can’t beat me so easily, dragon.” Rose said, pushing Cat down.
“I might be a vulnerable dragon, but I can still beat your sorry butt!” Cat said, kick Huntsgirl to the ground.
“Oh yeah, watch me!” Huntsgirl said, kicking Cat to a wall.
Cat easily got up and kicked her back.
Then, she gave a shot on doing a solar beam and threw the fire at Huntsgirl.
Expecting a wince in pain, Cat saw that her solar beam was weak, making Huntsgirl not recoil a single bit in pain.
“I… I don’t understand.” She said.
“Of course you don’t, dragon… We blocked all the windows to prevent you from starting a huge attack.” Huntsgirl said.
“So that means…” Cat paused and gasped.
“OH NO!”
“Oh yes!” Huntsgirl said, taking Cat down.
Cat winced in pain.
‘Aw man… I can’t attack her…’ She thought.
“HIYAH!” Huntsgirl said, kicking Cat in the face.
“Ugh…” Cat said, shooting a fireball back at her.
“You’re too weak, dragon,” threatened Huntsgirl, easily blowing the fire away with a single swipe of her hand.
‘She’s right… I’m too weak… I have to find a way to bring sunlight in here.’ Cat thought.
Huntsgirl gave Cat a punch in the face, making her fly to a wall.
Moaning, Cat went back to human, sliding down stiffly.
Cat quickly changed back to a dragon again.
“Had enough, dragon?” winked Huntsgirl.
“Actually, I have,” mumbled Cat.
She thought up of a plan and started to act like she was going to pass out.
“Please… just don’t throw me to a wall outside… please.” Cat said, trying to act like she was woozy.
“Hmm, I wasn’t going to, but that sounds like a great idea!” Huntsgirl said.
“Now… say goodbye… HIYAH!” She yelled, kicking Cat through the wall.
You got to admit, it did hurt, but it brought in sunlight.
Huntsgirl ran into a nearby room, waiting to see her opponent to expectedly fly out the window, falling off the building.
Although, she was very wrong…
“Thought you wasted me that easily?” Cat mocked, shooting a giant blast of fire at Huntsgirl.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” She yelled.
Cat flew back inside.
“And this is what you get for planning on using me and my friends for your own destiny!” She said, shooting a final shot, which seemed like a combination of solar and lunar power put together as one cloud of purple fireball then dust.
Panting heavily, Cat saw that her opponent was unconscious.
“Bye bye…” Cat mocked, flying out of the room.
She sighed, landing on the ground in total relief. She was back to human at this time and saw that Jake and Kellen also approached her, still as the American Dragon and IronHand.
They, too, have just defeated their opponents.
“Are you okay, Cat?” Kel asked.
“What happened to Huntsgirl?” Jake asked.
“I’m okay… and I guess you can say that she’s gone, for now…” Cat said, using her hands to flick dust away from her.
“Not so fast!” yelled the Huntsman.
“Oh please.” Cat said, turning to a dragon and winking at Jake and Kel.
Then, coming toward the Huntsman, was a ball of fire, a heavy metal cart, and of course, a purple fireball.
The Huntsman yelled as all of those came to him.
By this time, he was obviously knocked out.
The threesome high-fived and all went back to human seemingly simultaneously.
“Alright!”
“We rock!”
“Oh yeah!”
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
When the three flew down to the entrance of the hospital, they all looked up to see the building destroyed.
Cat sighed.
“Well, we did it, I guess.” She shrugged.
“C’mon, let’s get home.” Jake said.
“Hehe, well, I have to tell my parents everything first.” Cat said.
“Right. So let’s go your place first.” Kel said.
“Yeah…” Jake agreed.
The three started walking again…
“You know, without Kel, we would’ve been dead by now!” Jake laughed.
“Yeah, thanks for saving us.” Cat said, somehow wrapping her arms around him.
Kellen smiled, in a bit of slight happy shock.
“Hehe, hey, no problem…” He said, looking at Cat, who still had her arms around him.
As the sun still rose high in the sky, the three continued walking to Cat’s house…
